Regarding the options for the maintenance of the dead-aones in the gulf, I support option 1. We need to reduce nitrogen flow into the gulf.

Dear Sirs,

I support option 1.A., which sets numerical goals, in reduction of nitrogen discharge, into the Mississippi River. I have personally seen the damage that the "dead zones" have done to our local waters. I personally feel that this problem is one of the highest priorities that this country is facing.
